The Pede fronts have approx. 16mm. backspacing from the mounting surface (that the hex sits against) to the inner edge of the wheel.

The Pede rears have approx. 28mm. backspacing.

Basically,,,, the track width will be wider with the fronts and narrower with the rears. There may be clearance issues with the rears. Just depends on your set-up.

If you get the chrome Pede wheels, beware, the chrome is not very durable. The hex area on the Pede wheels is not the strongest either.

In the pic, the chrome is the front and the white is the rear.

i run pede rear on my clod 2.2 scale truck and thay work well.

To help avoid confusion, the REARS will work with clod axles because clod axles are so wide. The K2 series chassis are designed mainly for shafty axles like TLT and Wheely King axles, in which case, the pede rears will bring the wheels in so close that the tires could possibly rub the frame and lower links at full lock on the steering.

I recently picked up a used WK that the previous owner used Pede rear wheels. They do in fact rub on the steering.

i have some ped fronts on my WK.. after only 2-3 hours of crawling one hex is spread open enough to slip.. maybe the investment in quality rims is worth it after all ???
